DailyNode Discord Bot - Docker Setup

Quick Start

Using Docker Compose (Recommended)

1. Build and start the bot:

   docker-compose up -d

2. View logs:

   docker-compose logs -f

3. Stop the bot:

   docker-compose down

4. Restart the bot:

   docker-compose restart

Using Docker directly

1. Build the image:

   docker build -t dailynode-bot .

2. Run the container:

   docker run -d \
     --name dailynode-bot \
     --env-file .env \
     -v $(pwd)/config.json:/app/config.json \
     --restart unless-stopped \
     dailynode-bot

Configuration

Ensure your .env file contains:

DISCORD_TOKEN=your_discord_bot_token
clientId=your_client_id
guildId=your_guild_id

Maintenance

Update the bot:

docker-compose down
docker-compose build --no-cache
docker-compose up -d

View real-time logs:

docker-compose logs -f dailynode

Execute commands inside container:

docker-compose exec dailynode sh

Timezone

The default timezone is set to America/New_York. To change it:

1. Edit docker-compose.yml
2. Change the TZ environment variable
3. Restart: docker-compose restart

Data Persistence

The config.json file is mounted as a volume to persist:

• LeetCode channel configuration
• Daily problem data

This ensures your settings survive container restarts.
